heirs of Wm. Dewar, who 50 mysteriously
disappeared in 1888, leaving behind him
real estate in Helena now worth SAT, 600 or

property was bid in at delinquent tax sale
by Judge Davis, former partner of the
missing man, that Mr.. Dickson, about a
year ago, was allowed to redeem on be-
half of the heirs, and that Judge Davis
brought suit to compel the issue Of d deed
to him, which suit has not yet come to
trial. Judge Davis is now in the east, and
shortly before Mr.. Dickinson came west
the former called upon him and made
oyertures for the settlement of the suit and
the assignment of all claim to the DeHar
estate to him, Dayis. The offer has not
been accepted.

MONTANA'S BIRTHDAY.
Pioneers Asked to Report-The An
niversary Awakening Public
Interest.

HELENA, May % Thursday next will
be .sMontana's birthday The anniver-
sary will meet with more than ordinary at
tention this year, owing to the bright pros
poets OF the territory and the pride felt in
the good work accomplished by the foun-
ders. The Herald. makes the following
appeal to the pioneers:
"On May 26 will occur the anniversary
of the organization of Montana as separ-
ate political community and embryo state.
1t is our birthday, when we shall have
completed twenty three years of territorial
apprenticeship.
Though there is no ordinance of congress
or legislature and no proclamation by the
president or governor inviting our people
to the observance of the day in any way,
there is certainly nothing against it, and
we want to suggest that every one who
was resident of Montana at the date of
the organization in 1864, or who came in
during that year, should set down and
spend an hour in making a little personal
sketch of himself or herself and send it to
the corresponding secretary of the Pioneer
Association, Mr.. Hedges. A few have
done so already, and of course this request
is not addressed to them personally, ex-
eept to urge them to get and help others
to do what they have done.
"The past year has been a very fatal one
to old pioneers We can count up many
who have left us, of many of whom we
have no sketch at all. Before these facts
are forgotten let US by little present eff
fort try to have them put On record. Mon
tana has glorious future to look forward
to and WORK for. She hasI a past also, of
which she may well be proud and which
is worthy of record and preservation. We
ask the press of the territory to aid and en-
courage this purpose, as it has often done
hafore

Live Stock via the Lakes.

The livestock men of Montana and
Washington territory are considerably ex-
ercised over the live stock rates between
St. Paul and Chicago, and especially the
rates on sheep, as this is the season of the
year when they begin to think of moving
their mutton ffocks. Livestock rates over
the Nrthern Pacific are no higher, and, in
fact, in some instances lower than a year
ago; but on the contrary, the rates between
St. Paul and Chicago are a great deal
higher, and the difference is SO great that
the livestock men are already negotiating
to have their sheep, Intended for the Chi
cago market, shipped to Duluth in train
load lots and forwarded from there by
boat. Last year there was some trouble
over rates, and boatmen guaranteed TO take
the sheep from Duluth to Chicago for %.
cents per head and feed them. a differ

The ore and country rock are precisely
alike. The course of the leads are the
same, and the unanimous conclusion is
that the same veins extend through Castle

prospectors into the Castle as soon as the
snow melts a little more, and have no
doubt that the rich belt of leads will be
